The ALLU Screener Crusher D-series is divided into two main categories: screening and crushing and fine screening, and it is presenting a “new screening concept for bucket-type fine screening.” The company says that with the totally new screening design, wet materials can also be screened down to a fine fragment size such as 15 or 25mm minus, with high productivity. With the new design vaulting or bridging between the screening discs can be minimised.

Rammer, the Sandvik Construction-owned range of hydraulic hammers, will use Bauma 2013 to mark the latest stage in the development of the Rammer-branded products which were successfully reintroduced in 2012. Even though none of the models in Rammer’s extensive product range are more than two years old, Rammer says it has maintained its commitment to innovation and product development.

Atlas is now offering its own range of hydraulic breakers. These units are offered with operating weights from 135kg--5.7tonnes and can be used on machines right across the firm’s own excavator range. The firm says that its breakers are designed to absorb impact, reducing wear and tear on the carrier and absorbing vibration, lengthening hose life. A system regulates the number of blows to keep working frequency constant under all conditions. A lubrication system extends component life while all the units ca

New wheeled excavators are now available from German company Atlas Maschinen. New cabs, improved hydraulics and Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB compliant engines are key features. Stephan Theis director sales and marketing said, “We have a big reduction in noise levels at the operator’s ear.” Key new models for 2013 are the 140W, 150W and 160W wheeled excavators, with the larger 160W now coming to market and the two smaller units available at the end of the year.

Case says the CX75C SR and CX80C, its new and claimed market first Tier 4 Final emissions standard midi-excavators, offer more performance power and greater operator cabin comfort than previous models. Tier 4 Final requirements are said to have been met through the use of Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (CEGR) combined with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) system. Case says there is no requirement for the two new mid-excavators to have a costly Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), so there is no need for acti

Hatz will be showcasing its new line-up of C-series clear and trash water industrial pumps.
